| 4. | Comments by x_XJules [Rating: 7/10] entertaining at first kinda gets old. I was watching the anime as I watched this and I think i just got bored of the story. |

| 6. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 6/10] I never read the manga nor seen the anime, that's why I can only compare this to the movie. This is "as good as it gets" for me or should I say, should have been for me. But it seems like, because the screenwriter was from ProDai and Toma was from Hana Kimi, they were trying to do the same formula as those two successful series but it turned out differently and the ratings had proved that. |
| 7. | Comments by liquidlzero [Rating: 8/10] not bad at times it does get a little slow but still a pretty fine slice of life drama |
| 8. | Comments by chokakoi [Rating: 5/10] Yawn~~~~ Okay, it is not that terrible actually. Just that the pace get really slow sometime. There is plenty of room for improvement. The story is good, just that I felt the script is not well written, hence the slow pace. |
| 9. | Comments by Akiiness [Rating: 4/10] If you're going to watch this, I suggest watching the anime. |

| 14. | Comments by williu [Rating: 6/10] The first few eps are okay, but because of the insanely bad acting (or rather, bad character) of the female lead and unrealistic characters (in a bad way), it just doesn't cut it. The only positive things about this drama are the sub-plots. |
| 15. | Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: 8/10] i love the comic n anime...tho the love story is kinda tsurai!!
and takashi kashiwabara look so hot in the drama!!! |
| 16. | Comments by tachan [Rating: 6/10] cute, but a little boring. |
| 17. | Comments by marspeach [Rating: 7/10] Not bad but not that great. Many boring parts and sometimes the character interactions felt a little forced to me. But it also had good and funny parts. |

| 19. | Comments by suzzy [Rating: ?/10] going good
touching happy and sad moments so far |
| 20. | Comments by dekatrain [Rating: 6/10] I can see what the director and producers were thinking by bringing Narumi Riko (16) - a talented young actor - into the role of Hagumi. However, that lively youthfulness they were hoping to transfer onto screen in reality was contrastively replaced by a dull, lifeless perfomance. Anybody who has seen Aoi Yuu as Hagumi (probably in her best performance) in the movie version (worth a watch by the way) will know what I'm talking about. Imagine what the likes of Ueno Juri could've done with this role. She would've nailed it out of the park. Apart from that, the story is also incredibly slow, despite the lovely, laidback setting of artschool. Narimiya Hiroki is excellent as always and frustratingly so, because he is ALWAYS the standout in his dramas (stand up, kou kou no kyoshi etc.) and is somehow unable to get a proper gig as a main character in a drama. Overall, a bit disappointing and could've explored much greater territory as both a love story and a rite-of-passage drama. |
| 21. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: ?/10] Currently watching, will review when series ends |
| 22. | Comments by natzumi [Rating: 9/10] I liked the casts, the acting and how they were well selected - looked alike the characters in anime. Although the anime does more justice than the live action, which is often the case, I thought that the producers really tried to kept the plot closely to that of the manga/anime. Definatley watch this if you like the manga and the anime. Highly recommended. |
| 23. | Comments by adrxuan [Rating: 8/10] I like how the love triangle goes..normally love triangles are boring but this is actually nice...and toma is so cute in the show....he can be all serious but he cant be so funny in the show too... |
| 24. | Comments by Jhvx [Rating: 9/10] Quite good, good plot, and very good cast!!! Not the best romance drama I've ever seen but it's worth enough to download |
| 25. | Comments by Paine_kun [Rating: ?/10] Currently watching it.
2/11 |
| 26. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 6/10] started watching for Toma.. and the rest of the cast is pretty famous - its even got Kassy in it! the story is too dragging though, and it was almost painful to finish it.. could've done better if more elements were added to the story. |
| 27. | Comments by suomi90 [Rating: 8/10] currently watching, some funny moments that save the whole drama. |
| 28. | Comments by nienna [Rating: ?/10] still watching... |
| 29. | Comments by mizz_evy [Rating: 7/10] i am currently watching the drama.
but i give it a 7 so far because nothing to me really exciting happens. |
| 30. | Comments by Hinano [Rating: 5/10] I never really liked Honey & Clover but the drama didn't really help me like it any better. Actually the ending was so open ended and not "fulfilling" I wouldn't recommend it anyway. |
| 31. | Comments by sw33t_laydee [Rating: 8/10] It was good. I kinda like the anime over the drama but acting was done beautifully. |
| 32. | Comments by bba1 [Rating: 4/10] It has WAKABA! (Harada Natsuki). 10/10 So cute! Everything else 4/10. |
| 33. | Comments by wanderingfish7 [Rating: 5/10] No good, the leading actress ruin the whole thing. I gave up at the 4th episode. |
| 34. | Comments by strawberrynkiwi [Rating: 8/10] I didn't even realize the ending was the ending. It feels incomplete, but it was a nice drama. I really like the paintings that 'Hagumi' paints and the art directing. Other than it relating to me being in an art school, I thought the story was lacking. I love the Ayumi-Mayama-Norita triangle though. The closing video is always fun to watch. |
| 35. | Comments by phlargo [Rating: 4/10] Despite a very promising opening couple of episodes and great casting, I found the middle of the series to be painfully weak. The ending was good, but the anime beats it out in almost every way. I think the character design for Takemoto, Morita, and most of the main characters was so much better than the anime, but the direction fell flat on its face. Too bad - it had some strong potential. |
| 36. | Comments by balflear [Rating: 4/10] Maybe I'm a bit biased since I saw the anime and I think the storyline of the anime is way better. The dorama did not manage to portray half of what the anime managed to do. However, I do praise the actors for their good acting, even if their characters did not resemble their anime counterpart in the least (I blame script for that). |
| 37. | Comments by expanzee [Rating: ?/10] [EDIT] |
| 38. | Comments by infatuation21 [Rating: 8/10] takemoto = toma = LOVE. :D |
| 39. | Comments by TakumaSan [Rating: 7/10] it was a realli good drama..
had a great story to it.. like the ending =) |
| 40. | Comments by Patazilla [Rating: 8/10] Hmmmmmm... not easy to grade this one. All in all it's definitely none of my favourites. It lacks some nice absorbing flow... and the characters aren't of my like, but still it had some nice moments. The first episodes were kinda slow, but somehow it catched my interest in episode 8 and 9, which were really good ones. I'm still not sure what to say about the ending. I kinda missed something here, it doesn't really feel as if it ended. Hm. Definitely ok, to see the struggles of the characters and nice philosophic aspects, too, but all in one lacks some assertiveness. All the struggle is a bit anoying. |
| 41. | Comments by onie [Rating: ?/10] still watching.. i actually watched it because of ikuta toma! hehe.. i also like the actress harada natsuki.. really pretty! |
| 42. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 4/10] this one had alotta buzz since Toma is init...too bad this one was really slow and a bit gloomy...was great though to see Kashiwabara back in busines...kyaaa~~~ |
| 43. | Comments by sweetkitty_22 [Rating: 8/10] i want to watch tihs!!! |
| 44. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 4/10] Watched this series up to episode 3 and couldn't watch anymore.....Ikuta Toma and Narimaya Hiroki were slightly annoying....Narumi Riko is in my opinion a fine actress but in this drama, she looks way too young for the part...I would say that the movie version with Aoi Yu was much more enjoyable and sucessful.......but this dorama was draggy and nothing was new.... |
| 45. | Comments by dirtypink [Rating: 7/10] it was boring sometimes.but the ending was touching for me.the clover sandwich was so touching>_< |
| 46. | Comments by EstherM [Rating: 7/10] The source material is a bit slow and boring already so I wasn´t expecting anything hilarious or action driven. The actors fitted well, the major storyline was respected and I recognised many scences from the manga, which I liked. Not grand, but not really bad, like the manga. The anime is funnier. |
| 47. | Comments by room304 [Rating: 6/10] enjoyed it despite it's slow pace, but Narumi Riko really was annoying in this one |
| 48. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: ?/10] COMPLETE. HS |
| 49. | Comments by sezling [Rating: 8/10] I actually quite liked this drama. The characters really hit it off for me! I'm a fan of the anime (having watched that first) and I was REALLY pleased with how each actor matched their character perfectly!! Through their friendships and interactions the story manages to be funny and heartwarming =) |
| 50. | Comments by kaitosan20 [Rating: 7/10] it was alright but wasnt really exiting. |
| 51. | Comments by Akyoku [Rating: ?/10] ikuta! |
| 52. | Comments by Vinny_Duvet [Rating: ?/10] 2 серии |
| 53. | Comments by roon [Rating: 3/10] Live action H&C is pretty much cursed... |
| 54. | Comments by Milano [Rating: 9/10] it follows almost perfectly the anime, sometimes too sweet. |
| 55. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: ?/10] KIV list |
| 56. | Comments by kireiyuhi [Rating: 9/10] Narumi Rika is absolutely amazing. She's only 16 and has already proven that she can play several different roles. I really enjoyed this drama. Especially cause Ikuta Toma is in it |
| 57. | Comments by eftermiddag [Rating: 4/10] haven't seen all episodes yet. I think it might be a good dorama, but i haven't decided yet |
| 58. | Comments by ABINTRA [Rating: 7/10] I wouldn't really recommend it, though it did have its moments and Ikuta Toma was awesome as always. I admit I'm not a big fan of the manga, but the drama could've done more with the source material; I expected this to be funnier. I felt inspired, though, to get out my paints. |
| 59. | Comments by shinjitsu [Rating: 7/10] Just ok. Comparable to 'Orange Days' in story and enjoyability. |
| 60. | Comments by romi510 [Rating: 7/10] I watched this show for Toma, but seriously, the pace is so SLOW that I almost give up on it. I wish Toma can get better scripts!!! |
| 61. | Comments by misaki697 [Rating: 6/10] i watched this one because i absolutely LOVED toma in hana kimi, but this drama was incredibly slow most of the time, and isnt one that leaves a lasting impression.
However, i REALLY enjoyed watching Harada Natsuki's character develop. I also really liked her chemistry with Mayama. i think it was their relationship that motivated me to finish watching the drama. |
| 62. | Comments by Makochan [Rating: 8/10] It starts off a little slow, but then picks up halfway through. Worth a watch! |
| 63. | Comments by fantariko [Rating: 10/10] Best Ikuta Toma!!!! Really great.. so cute... hehe |
| 64. | Comments by xayaxceresx [Rating: 7/10] art |
| 65. | Comments by gopro [Rating: 6/10] This is about 6.5ish- I watched this being a fan of the anime and I must say that this is a big letdown. Certain moments were too slow and some were too fast. The addition of Ryoma-Sama was great. I recommend others to watch the anime instead or read the manga. (Watched Spring 08) |
| 66. | Comments by joychin [Rating: 7/10] Actually,it's kind of boring. Not super boring,but a little. I really dun like the main female lead because i think her acting looks so fake. Even when she smiles,it doesn't look genuine. Sigh....maybe it's because i've seen her acting in 1 litre of tears and her character is nothing like in honey and clover but i still think that her acting in 1 litre of tears is more convincing. Other than her,i love the rest of the cast especially toma and osamu!! After watching for a while,i began to wonder,who exactly is the main character because the drama doesn't really focus on the main character but all the 4 friends. That's why,instead of paying attention to the main storyline.....toma and the painter girl,i actually drifted off and was more interested in mayama and the pot girl. The ending was nice,the storyline is not bad,the soundtrack too and also the beginning and the ending where they played the theme song. The polaroid pic concept at the beginning and the self video at the end is really nice |
| 67. | Comments by kneehard [Rating: 7/10] I am in a love-hate relationship with this drama because some parts of it I absolutely enjoyed watching while other parts I wish I can just cut out of the drama.
To those of you who have not watched it yet, look forward to the interaction between Nirimiya Hiroki's charater and the main actress(sorry I forgot your name), Nomiya+Yamada and Ikuta Toma's self-discovering journey.
I really didn't enjoy the side story of Asaka Seto and the glasses guy. |
| 68. | Comments by Swedish_Japan_Lover [Rating: 8/10] I loved the story, but it was so slow and no action, very boring sometimes |
| 69. | Comments by azngelique [Rating: 6/10] boring sometimes. but the actors were great. i love toma here.. :)) |
| 70. | Comments by cnidaria_jin [Rating: 7/10] i loves tis drama... |
| 71. | Comments by chibichan [Rating: 9/10] i can feel Yuuta's (Ikuta Toma) desperation, for not having destination in life, not knowing what to do., not have enough courage to teel his feeling. Somewhat this dorama teach me life.
As a fact i almost give up wacthing this after 3 episodes, at first i feels this dorama is slow, but when reached 4 episodes i started to like this dorama and fall in love with Toma's character at the same time.
really like the scenes, when the three of them gather and listen to Romaya Senpai's word |
